This management book documents the remarkable transformation of DSM, first from a coal mining company to a commodity chemicals producer and then in the last two decades to the life sciences & materials sciences company it is today, with its strong focus on biotechnology.

The book gives an inside view on the ‘strategic learning cycles’ that have driven this evolutionary transformation. It also discusses the company traits that have contributed to its ability to adapt, grow and prosper.

Renowned business schools such as IMD and Babson have accompanied the second transformation of DSM through their executive education programs. The book documents this support and draws lessons for long-term collaboration between companies and the business school world.

Understanding and managing your leadership modes

By Michael D. Watkins
Case reference: IMD-2750 ©2026

Summary

This technical note introduces a framework for understanding why effective leaders sometimes act in ways that undermine their own goals. Moving beyond traditional style models that treat leaders as relatively consistent, the note presents 'leadership modes' – coherent states defined by configurations of Affects, Behaviors, Cognitions and Desires (ABCD). Drawing on Schema Therapy, the framework identifies eight modes in three categories: three high-performance modes (Visionary, Driver and Connector) representing optimal functioning oriented toward possibility, action and people; four reactive modes (Controller, Defender, Avoider and Pleaser) that activate as automatic self-protective responses to perceived threats; and a Grounded Leader mode that enables self-observation and deliberate choice. The note details each mode's internal logic, explains how modes interact and cascade under pressure and outlines a three-stage development path – recognizing and labeling modes, proactively anticipating reactive episodes, and responding and recovering afterward. Integrating Susan David's emotional agility framework, it provides practical strategies for reducing the grip of reactive patterns and gaining consistent access to high-performance states. Designed for executive education and leadership development, the note equips leaders with a diagnostic lens for understanding their functioning and the capacity to choose how to lead rather than lead reactively.

Hong Kong Broadband Network: An integrated approach to talent management (Paper version)

By Shlomo Ben-Hur and Ivy Buche
Case reference: IMD-7-1673-P ©2016

Summary

Hong Kong Broadband Network (HKBN) charted a success story starting out as the smallest new entrant in Hong Kong’s highly competitive telecom industry in 1999 and went on to become the second largest provider of residential broadband within 10 years. State-of-the-art fiber network infrastructure allowed HKBN to offer high-quality high-speed telecom services at competitive prices. However, the company soon realized that its technological edge could be easily replicated. Its competitive advantage was actually vested in its 2,500 employees – all referred to as Talents. HKBN instituted a unique co-ownership scheme whereby employees were invited to invest up to two years of salary in the company. It also made sustained investment in talent development through well-designed learning programs coupled with significant empowerment on the job. The case outlines the importance of leadership and talent management as key drivers of growth for the company. HKBN listed in early 2015 and embarked upon its next phase of growth with the aim of becoming the largest broadband service provider by 2019, overtaking its largest competitor and entrenched incumbent, PCCW. HKBN looked to its Talents to rise to the challenge once again.
